New Members of the Club
Dr. Tsuchiya seemed reluctant to continue the conversation.
But he still gritted his teeth and said, "If fate is the sea, then the Eternity roles are the rivers flowing into the sea, all living beings are the fish in the sea, the Beyonder are the birds, and the drivers with indestructible power— the Informed One —are the beasts."
"Susan, you are like water merging into the ocean."
"Erik, you are like a giant fireball hanging in the sky, emitting light and heat, capable of evaporating seawater to some extent."
"Faced with the Great Cataclysm, this tsunami that swept across the entire world."
"Water is the safest option; there's always a chance to start over."
"The fish in the Deep, unaware of the danger, are safe and sound."
"Birds have a certain chance of surviving."
"Beasts will only sink into the sea."
"If that fireball stays safely in the sky, that's fine. But if it falls to the Dadi, there's only one possibility: it will be extinguished."
"It can no longer rise, ignite the flame, or release the light."
"What do you mean?" Ron asked.
Dr. Tsuchiya ignored Ron and stared intently at Magneto, a hint of pity in his voice.
"You can directly ruin the script to some extent, but you lose the ability to start over."
"Huh? You mean Erik can't be resurrected?" Ron asked in surprise. "Then what about this summer season—"
"This kind of immortality still exists," Dr. Tsuchiya interrupted. "I mean, if we face the risks of the World Cup, fate itself."
"The World Cup track is a manifestation of fate, and it is far more terrifying than any real celestial body."
"It is the prison of the Beyonder, the grave of you, the sun."
"In short, not participating in the World Cup is your best option. You can lie dormant for countless years until you can burn out the script."
"Anyway, as long as I don't fall to the Dadi and stay near the sea, I should be able to survive." Magneto replied with the same sentence structure, his words filled with Indestructible Through Ten Thousand Tribulations resilience. "The World Cup is nothing compared to the tsunami that sweeps across the entire world—[The Great Cataclysm]."
"You're wrong," Dr. Tsuchiya said. "The World Cup is more dangerous than the Great Cataclysm."
"For beastmen, that is, drivers who are only at the level of those Informed One and possess the power of immortality, the tsunami is naturally more dangerous."
"Because they are destined to die because of it."
"But for all participants, the World Cup is a cold wave that treats everyone equally."
"Whether it is a beast, a bird, or a fish, all of them will face a deadly crisis that threatens their lives."
"Only water can turn into ice and survive, waiting for spring to arrive and for flowers to bloom before it melts again."
"You are still just a fireball hanging in mid-air, not yet a true sun."
"It can also freeze you, and then extinguish you completely."
"You are hope."
"Unprecedented hope."
"It could destroy all the hopes of the script in one fell swoop."
Are you sure you want to destroy hope and yourself because of a moment of anger and resentment?
"I understand." Magneto lowered his head.
"After the competition, come to my research institute for a physical examination," Dr. Tsuchiya said. "Oh, and remember to visit the Da Shen again."
After saying that, he vanished into thin air.
He must be off to perform his own role again.
"I think Dr. Tsuchiya is right," Ron said. "If we fail to complete the mission, you may be our only hope."
"Those Beyonder are immortal."
"We have unlimited time to complete the task."
"What if this is the only chance?" Magneto said, "The Great Cataclysm unleashed by the Super Vanguard, and our arrival."
"What if our only goal is to qualify for the World Cup?"
"If I give up, does that mean my mission has failed and I'll be stuck in this world forever?"
"I cannot live in a world without Charles!"
("I can't stand a world without Charles!" Madison mimicked Magneto's tone in the club, "He's really bold. Before he inherited Carrow's powers, he wasn't this straightforward.")
("It seems he hasn't completely abandoned Carrow's influence.")
("How do you get rid of it? This Anti-Destiny Force that he possesses is the most essential thing left after everything about Carrow was burned away." Zoe yawned. "By the way, are there really any new people coming today?")
(She tugged at her clothes slightly, looking slightly uncomfortable.)
(As a homebody.)
(After the [Wizard Space] function was activated, she had almost given up on everything in the American Horror Story world. Apart from role-playing, when visiting her parents, she always stayed in the lounge or in her own little world.)
(After her physical condition was sufficient to support continuous exercise, her life essence was elevated to the level of the universe, and intercourse was equivalent to cultivation, surpassing all worldly pleasures, she had long been accustomed to wearing thin clothes, or simply using her long hair to cover her vital parts.)
(I'm dressed so conservatively today so as not to scare the newlyweds.)
(She tugged at her miniskirt, feeling it was in her way.)
(Also, she hadn't been close to Basil for an hour, which made her feel very uncomfortable.)
("Strange." Bellatrix stroked her chin. "Normally, it shouldn't have taken this long. Also, where did Basil go? He could be anywhere.")
("Because," Basil appeared, embracing Ariana as she approached, "I'm trying to influence the membership list without using gems.")
("You don't like the new member?" Madison keenly sensed Basil's intention.)
("It's not that I don't like her," Basil said. "She's beautiful. It's just that she's too self-important, too love-struck, and always causing trouble, making her family and friends clean up her messes. But that's not a problem for the club.")
("From a certain perspective, she's very suitable for the club. Right now, she's still before the story begins.")
("Lucifer's daughter, half-human and half-wit, always listens to bad people. She is somewhat kind, but not much. She only cares about her family and friends, but she will give way to her love. She wants both, is uneducated, and is a spoiled, selfish, and arrogant child.")
(Madison narrowed her eyes. "I know who she is, Kiernan Shipka, that bitch who looks a bit like Emma Watson, Sabrina Spellman, sweetheart, you're right.")
(Sabrina Spellman is from "The Adventures of Sabrina".)
(There are four seasons in total.)
(The first three seasons mainly tell the story of Sabrina, a half-human, half-witch, and how she makes foolish mistakes while fighting against her evil father, the Dark Lord Satan— Lucifer, who wants to marry her.)
(After wanting both magic and freedom, she caused her whole family to lose their magic, and only resolved the situation by hiring a human lawyer to fight in the Wizengamot. Along the way, she also caused her boyfriend's brother to be annihilated, among other things.)
(Sabrina escaped her fate of marrying her father through opportunistic means and drove away the high priest of the Dark Church, but at the cost of her boyfriend Nick being taken to Hell by the Dark Lord's lover, the Mother of All Demons, as a prisoner of the Dark Lord.)
(Sabrina, unwilling to accept her fate, infiltrates Hell and, using her identity as the daughter of the Dark Lord Satan, inherits the position of Queen of Hell. Ignoring the Dark Lord's warnings, she appoints the Mother of All Demons as regent, casts herself into Hell, and brings her boyfriend back to Earth.)
(Then they found the High Priest and transferred the Dark Lord into his body.)
(But as a result, her neglect of Hell allowed Prince Caliban to obtain 666 demon signatures, enabling him to launch a challenge for the throne.)
(The balance of the three realms has been lost.)
(She seemed to have escaped the Dark Lord's boyfriend, but under the Dark Lord's control, she released the High Priest.)
(The Dark Lord was finally freed.)
(The wizards lost their magic because they betrayed the Dark Lord.)
(The ghosts of the suppressed heretics, carrying the Old Gods, seek to destroy wizards and humans.)
(Meanwhile, Sabrina is still waging a challenge for the throne, searching for three evil royal artifacts in order to regain her position as queen.)
(Completely unaware that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.)
(While she was searching for the last of Judah's silver coins, Prince Caliban had already successfully staged a coup, imprisoning the Dark Lord and the Queen of All Demons inside the statue.)
(He even foolishly handed the silver coins to Prince Caliban, who was disguised as Judah, and was subsequently sealed into a stone statue.)
(In the end, Prince Caliban became the King of Hell.)
(Humans and wizards were wiped out by heretics and the Old Gods, leaving only Sabrina's cousin.)
(Hell suffered the same fate because Prince Caliban led his army of hell.)
(Barring unforeseen circumstances, nothing can be changed.)
(But the time-distorting magical egg that Sabrina's cousin obtained from the High Priest still exists within the royal artifacts of Hell, creating a new timeline.)
(Sabrina in the 1960s, Sabrina No. 2.)
(She swapped places with herself in the stone statue.)
(Sabrina #1, inside the stone statue, followed #2's strategy and took the three royal artifacts. She survived with her still-living cousin and used the three royal artifacts as energy to activate the magic egg and return to 60 years ago.)
(They saved the wizards and disrupted the heretics' ritual to invoke the Green God.)
(If this is the end, following strategy #2, you can exchange places with your past self who is about to be sealed in the statue, completing the time loop, and everything will be fine.)
(But Sabrina wanted both. She wanted to become the Queen of Hell, maintaining the balance of the three realms and not have to worry about the threat from the Demon Father. She also wanted to live an ordinary life with her friends in the human world.)
(So, she foolishly reminded herself, who existed in the same timeline, of the three royal artifacts she was about to steal.)
(The result was that Sabrina was not deceived by Prince Caliban, and there were two Sabrina 1s in the world.)
(Sabrina in Hell, Sabrina on Earth.)
(It seems perfect, but it's actually all messed up.)
(The entire fourth season tells the story of a gap appearing in the universe, and beings from beyond the universe beginning to appear prematurely under the guidance of the High Priest, destroying the world. In the end, the two Sabrinas sacrifice themselves to avert the crisis.)
(In short, Sabrina is indeed a very troublesome person.)
(Madison briefly explains the plot to everyone in the lounge.)
("But she's valuable, isn't she?" Zoe said. "The last surviving human, Sabrina, became the embodiment of the Void, capable of encompassing the three realms within her Void. If she hadn't been so insane, she wouldn't have been able to release those sucked into the Void through a near-death ritual.")
("She might even become the universe itself.")
("Instead of dying, go to heaven.")
(Madison raised an eyebrow, unwilling to listen to these words. She looked at Basil, "Sweetheart, did you succeed?")
("It's a success." Basil nodded. "Sabrina is currently just one member of the [Dream Kingdom], and the new member...")
("Come out!" Basil clapped.)
("Hmm," a little girl with black hair walked out from behind Basil with her hands behind her back, pretending to be nonchalant, "Hello everyone, my name is Cheng Xiaoyu. I come from the world of Jackie Chan Adventures that Brother Li told me about.")
("Jackie Chan is my uncle.")
("I am said to be the queen of the Shadow Clan, the reincarnation of Saint Seiya, a key figure pursued by both righteous and dark Positive Qi, a person who will rewrite history, and the future sheriff of Section 13.")
(Huang Rong and Wang Yuyan's eyes lit up.)
(It's not just because new members with the same cultural background as them joined the club.)
(It was because the clever and mischievous Xiaoyu reminded them of Huang Rong.)
(Madison and others sighed.)
(I'm afraid the lounge won't be open anymore.)
(Mei is alright, at least she's older and knows to avoid suspicion and make room for others.)
(But a young girl like Xiaoyu)
(The method of throwing her into a universe with a different time flow for a few years is ineffective for club members.)
(They knew Basil; he still had his principles.)
(His first girlfriend, Hermione from the Novel Harry universe, was someone he deliberately took with him through various parallel universes until she reached adulthood before they had a relationship.)
(Seeing that Basil was quite pleased with Jade, Zoe forced a conversation, "So, Bucky, you've come out ahead; you've gained information from two different universes.")
(However, she did not expect that Basil would actually nod.)
(Indeed, there are immortals in Xiaoyu's world.)
("The legendary Eight Immortals, and eight demons representing the Bagua, the origin of [dark energy], who are their opposites.")
("This world is quite interesting; it's composed of [dark energy] and [Positive Qi], and [Positive Qi] and [dark energy] are always in dynamic equilibrium.")
("In ancient times, Eight Great Demons ruled the world, and [dark energy] prevailed.")
("Thus, eight immortal gods were born, also known as the Eight Immortals.")
("The Eight Immortals were clever enough to banish the eight demons to hell and seal them away, rather than kill them. They allowed hell to gradually erode their power and wisdom, while they themselves left behind magical artifacts representing Positive Qi and ascended to escape the dynamic balance between Positive Qi and darkness.")
("Then, due to the balance, the dragon representing the [Li] trigram of the Bagua— the Wizard [Shendu]—deceived the other seven demons into helping him escape from Hell. He also used magic to seize the power of [Mask of Tarak] and obtained the [Shadowkhan], thus ruling the entire world alone.")
("The growth of the dark forces also signifies the imminent rise of the Positive Qi forces.")
("The Saint Lo Pei [Liu Bei] was born, and in an almost bug-like manner, he stole the power of the Wizard and dismantled it into the [Twelve Talismans]. The Wizard, the representative of the [Dark Aura], still exists, but has been turned into a statue. [Balance] is thus achieved.")
("Thus ushered in the human era.")
("Technology has been able to develop.")
(As Basil spoke, substantial black and white energy appeared in his palm, with a faint outline of the Eight Trigrams around it. The Eight Trigrams continuously disintegrated into the Eight Immortals and the Eight Great Demons, and then reassembled.)
(The origins of the Jackie Chan Adventures world are unfolding in his hands.)
(If it weren't for his restraint, even if it existed, it could transform everything around it into [qi], reconstructing [black qi] and [Positive Qi].)
(And then a new universe was born.)
